"Take these people back to the military camp for me~!"
The whole battle didn't last long. Although the overall strength of the more than fifty people sent by Soga Ezo was slightly higher than that of the people sent by Yamabeko's elder brother, the opponent had a big bearded man with abnormal force value. Experts are in charge, let alone Soga Ezo who sent fifty experts, even if he sent a hundred experts, it would still be in vain~!
As for Li Xiaogong, he had already taken action to cut off the black-robed assassin's hand tendons and hamstrings, and gave instructions to Yoko Ono next to him. He didn't even bring any personal guards to the palace this time, so he could only give orders to Ono Yoko, but he couldn't give orders to the bearded guest, right?
"Ah~? Your Majesty, please hand over these assassins to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation~!"
Yoko Ono bowed and said pitifully.
Li Xiaogong wiped the bloody sword, then glanced at Yoko Ono indifferently, and said: "This matter may have something to do with your queen. How could I hand them over to the palace? If you don't want to die, just follow the instructions." Do what the king says~!”
"Your Majesty the Prince~!"
At this moment, there was a shout from the corner of the street, and then I saw Shanbei's brother Wang riding a horse and leading a team of guards, rushing here!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty was deeply shocked to learn that you were assassinated in the city. Your Majesty sent me to express my apology and condolences to you, and asked me to investigate the murderer at all costs~! Please also ask your Majesty to hand over these assassins to you. Guaranteed with a head, the mastermind behind the scenes will be found~!"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang jumped off his horse, and then saluted Li Xiaogong with a sincere face and cupped his fists.
Li Xiaogong said expressionlessly: "Impossible~! The identities of these people are unknown, and you and the Queen of Japan may have something to do with them. I will never hand over these people until they are clear~! Cheng There are more than 10,000 soldiers outside, and they will not agree to hand these people over to you~!"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang was stunned. He understood the subtext of Li Xiaogong's words, that is, it was impossible for him to take these people away today, otherwise what awaited the Japanese country would be an all-out war with the Tang Dynasty. He could not afford it. This guilt!
"Your Majesty, these assassins have absolutely nothing to do with me or His Majesty. You should not doubt us!"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang quickly explained, but seeing that Li Xiaogong was not moved at all, he added: "How about this, Your Majesty, please leave a few alive and I will interrogate them overnight. You can take away the rest of the assassins and deal with them at will. Let's investigate together." It’s faster than checking it by yourself, don’t you think~?”
Li Xiaogong thought for a while and realized that it was indeed inappropriate for the imperial fleet to stay in Japan for a long time, so he nodded and said: "Okay~! Then I will believe you again~! The assassins who came tonight, a total of fifty-one, were hacked to death. Twenty-eight, fifteen committed suicide by taking poison, and there are only eight left. Except for the one at my feet, you can pick two of the rest~! Hurry up~!"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang glanced at the black-robed assassin at Li Xiaogong's feet, and said helplessly: "Thank you, Your Majesty~!"
After a while, Li Xiaogong and Qiu Bearke left the city with six assassins, while Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, took the remaining two assassins and returned to the palace. It seemed that the lights of the palace would stay on tonight until tomorrow.
………………………
The next day, Yanhuang Academy.
It's just dawn, and the wake-up bell has already sounded. The students who are immersed in sleep have to get up even if they don't want to get up!
"Hmm~! Do you have to get up so early? I'm so sleepy~!"
Li Tai turned over, stuck out his fat butt, and complained reluctantly.
Although the beds in the student dormitory are hard beds, Li Tai now feels that this hard bed is much more comfortable than the soft pillows on the high bed in his palace. If possible, he would like to lie on it and sleep like this.
"Hmm~! I feel so sleepy today too!"
Cheng Chumo sat up, rubbed his face vigorously, and muttered.
"Fuck~! It's all your fault, otherwise we wouldn't have been punished to stand so late last night~!"
Li Tai lifted the quilt angrily, sat up and complained.
"Gugu~!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, a protest sounded in his stomach, "Damn, I'm so hungry~! I have to run in a while, my God, what should I do? Why can't I have breakfast and then run? The system of the academy is too bad It makes sense~!”
In the past two days, the little fat man has not eaten meat. Those vegetables and other things are not enough for him to be hungry. In addition, he went out and stood for so long last night, which consumed so much of his physical energy. It is difficult to wake up in the morning without being hungry. Weird!
"Qingque, it's not appropriate to exercise just after eating. Let's get up and wash up quickly! Don't be late and be punished~!"
Li Chengqian, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, leaned on the bed rail and said.
"Well, get up now!"
……………………
"One two one, one two one, one two three four, one, two, three~four~!"
Yanhuang Academy is located at the top of Yunshan Mountain. There are no early morning hawkers or noisy pedestrians and merchants. In the early morning, there are only the neat and loud slogans of students running.
"Well, compared to the messy team at the beginning, they are now in shape~!"
Li Ze They are all practicing. Since he did not deliberately pursue progress, he has only reached the third level of practice so far. There are nine levels in total. Dugu Xin has now reached the seventh level.
Moreover, he found that this swordsmanship is the same as many swordsmanships. It becomes more and more difficult to practice as you go to the later stage. It requires not only a deep understanding of martial arts, but also some personal insights. The two complement each other and it can be achieved naturally. This is also the case for Li Zexuan The reason for not rushing to pursue progress is that haste makes waste. As a Taoist disciple, he certainly understands the principle of letting nature take its course.
"Haha~! I heard that Zhijie will come over this afternoon, and tomorrow will happen to be a holiday. It seems that these students have been having a hard time recently~!"
Qin Qiong stood beside Li Zexuan and said with a smile.
Li Zexuan was stunned. Cheng Yaojin had said that he would come to the academy as a temporary instructor when he had time. After such a long time, if Qin Qiong hadn't suddenly mentioned it today, he would have almost forgotten it. Thinking about Cheng Yaojin's usual urinary nature, Li Zexuan couldn't bear it. He couldn't help laughing and said:
"Haha~! These little bastards were so energetic and stayed up most of the night last night, which shows that the amount of training is still too little. Uncle Cheng is here just in time to give them a little challenge~!"
Qin Qiong twisted his beard and smiled and said: "Xiaoxuan, you have to keep an eye on the side and don't let Zhijie cause trouble~!"
Li Zexuan quickly waved his hand and said: "Uncle Qin, you better keep an eye on it! I have other things to do these two days, so I'll leave it to you first~!"
Facing this lazy guy, Qin Qiong was speechless for a while.
